No controversy, just an ax to grind
[edit]The whole section about the two writers seemed out of place and lacking any real importance. It was just another chance to use Wikipedia to garner some positive PR by focusing on a single case that is dubious at best. I vote for it's deletion, or to cut 90% of the paragraphs, or to cut the paragraph down in length and add more about OTHER controversies about the Writers Association that are more general and broader in scope. Fadedroots (talk) 03:05, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'm in complete agreement. The BBWAA has been in existence for over 100 years and has had hundreds or thousands of members. Devoting almost half of the article to a relatively minor dispute over the membership demands of two writers in 2007 is undue, to say the least. I'm going to go ahead and trim it. Cbl62 (talk) 13:30, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Current members
[edit]This list is huge. You can see the entire list here. Should the current list be forked into its own article or just gotten rid of altogether? Wickethewok (talk) 08:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Ref style
[edit]The whole article is referenced using hyperlinks. I would like to see someone change this to REF tags; as it currently stands, there's no way to see a list of all the references used in the article. Timneu22 (talk) 20:59, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
